It’s a good time to start creatinga
better world. It’s a good time to stop supporting the current system by
extricating ourselves from it. It’s easy for groups of people to create
new ways of life of their own devising.

The
only way to achieve true freedom is to be aware of the subtle and
sledgehammer programming planted in us all by family, nation and
culture. Until we’re aware of why we think and feel the way we do, we
cannot be free.

There’s no point fighting the system or even attempting to change it from within (see http://www.geocities.com/ramaussies
) – instead, let it wither on the vine. The dominant paradigm survives
through ingrained, unexamined beliefs and aphorisms that hypnotise the
unwary into a life of fearful acquisition and pointless (re)activity. In
nature’s reality unbridled growth means the inevitable death of an
organism or species – and within the human sphere, possessions possess
the possessor.

Society’s
ongoing task is to program free agents to fulfill its ends – which may
or may not be beneficial to the individuals involved. Either way human
awareness must be limited or reduced by a culture to channel the
individual will toward predetermined corporate goals – instead of toward
personal survival, growth and self-knowledge. Historically, it’s been
necessary to avoid society or dwell on its fringes to fully explore
these regions of human awareness.

Genes and Memes

We’re all programmed by memes– in the original pre-blog usage of the term, a meme
is a thought-form with a reality all its own, a living program of idea
propagating itself through and via the human collective consciousness,
just as genes propagate themselves via human protoplasm. These programs
act like possessing entities, often driving and riding their human
mounts to unlikely or unfortunate destinations.

To
change the world we must remake our selves. The will to change others
is a wish to control them. The only place change occurs is within you.
To learn what drives us you must listen to your thoughts to realise how
few of them are actually yours. Then you can decide which ones
you agree with. Better still, learn to stop ALL the monkey chatter of
thought and learn what true peace is. With this simple step you can
conquer the illusory fear of death that governs and directs all
unenlightened beings – and drives them to their graves.

No
one can save the world, but it takes every one of us to save the
planetary ecosystem. You can save the tract of earth on which you stand
and the life-forms that share it with you – yet saving yourself and your
environment requires much more than changing light bulbs while
continuing to steam along on a doomed Titanic luxury cruise.

It
IS possible is to create new systems and ways of life that are real
alternatives to the world-destroying cultures and societies our
ancestors built for us – if only like-minded people can enjoy living
together. Learning to accept and like others – and not merely tolerate
them – is a loving skill denied most post-modern nuclear family denizens
and their sole children offspring. Sharing is a skill we must all
develop if we are to survive and thrive in this New Millennium.In
a single house in a city, or a city block, or on agricultural land or
in the wilderness, you DO make a difference, all the time – every time
you flick a switch, flush a toilet, turn on a tap or pour something down
a drain or into the earth or water, every time you buy, make or sell
something and each time you meet the eyes of a fellow conscious being.

If
we want freedom to choose not to destroy the planet by our very
existence, we must first resolve and dissolve our ancient individual and
racial sibling rivalries and all the customary feudal ill-will toward
our own family members. It’s easier to remake or selves in the womb of
our creation. Then we can really have a chance of trusting others and
creating alternative, sustainable ways of living, learning, earning,
occupying and entertaining ourselves.

Or
we can just sit and talk or write about the state of the world or our
lounge rooms, contributing to the distracting chatter of slowly evolving
simians who still foul their own nests and spend their time by spending
money. Humanity is a wide, deep gene-pool with many shallow shores. It
takes all kinds to make a world.Anything
is possible. All of our fundamentally medieval cultures and lurid
shallow media give us an utterly unreal, biased and propaganda-driven
view of reality. The world is actually very friendly and benign to those
living in harmony with nature and their own natures. Compassion breeds
compassion and focused awareness ignites awareness in others.
Communication requires respectful sensitivity to feedback and the
knowledge and belief that the other person is at least as conscious as
you are. If you contact the other person’s true central awareness you’re
far more likely to achieve true communication. If you assume you’re
talking to a dullard you’ll often fail to get anything through a brick
wall of your own devising.

It’s
possible o live in a tribe wherever you are or find yourself. The first
step is to be open to the idea and all that it entails. A nuclear
family isn’t a viable way to create or raise healthy human beings – it‘s
designed for the use and abuse of industry, religions and militarists.
Humans need society just as society needs humans – individuals need to
feel part of a tribe to remain healthy and keep growing, and a
tribe is not a nation; it’s a small group of people. It’s easy to make a
real home, with a family of any reasonable size; your brothers, sisters
and cousins are all around you, born into the same divisive small
families that are now deemed necessary to reduce unbridled population
increase.

Find
real friends and find a home to share. Learn how to heal its ecosystem.
Plant a tree. See how long it takes for a tree to grow – and how long
it needs protection from axe, saw and fire. While you’re waiting plant a
forest, with plenty of food trees. All over the world, two generations
of alternative pioneers have quietly been learning how to create a
wonderful future – in the here and now. Help yourself by joining and
helping them create a better world.

What would you like to create? How would you like to live?What kind of world will it help to create?Be careful what you wish for. Dream on – or just do it – today.

by John A. Rush

As a collection, Entheogens
and the Development of Culture: The Anthropology and Neurobiology of Ecstatic
Experience
proposes that psychoactive substances have been key components in the
development of both human culture and the human brain. The fourteen essays that
are included in the collection are written by a number of researchers from
across various disciplines, including anthropology, mycology, classics,
cultural historians, psychology and biology.

While, academically and
perspectively, the writers often appear to be coming from altogether totally
different theoretical places, with a myriad of intentions laced within them,
they do share the common goal of examining the role of psychoactive substances
in the history of human culture. And, as such, provides an interesting argument
when taken in its totality.

The question regarding
the entheogenic effect on the development of the human brain, while bolstered
to some degree by the cultural chapters, is largely formulated in Michael
Winkelman’s essay Altered Consciousness and Drugs in Human Evolution.
Holding the position that our brains have evolved alongside, and as a result of
certain plants and altered states, by way of the serotonergic and dopaminergic
systems that can be stimulated by exogenous neurotransmitters—such as those
found in Psilocybe mushrooms. Winkleman writes:

“The role of drugs in the
evolution of human consciousness must be understood in relationship to effects
on the serotonergic system and its roles in overall brain functioning. The
alterations of consciousness enhance paleomammilian brain functions and their
coordination and integration with the entire brain. Enhanced serotonergic
mechanisms contributed to experiences of altered consciousness in humans,
embodied in visionary experiences” (Rush 45)

So, the theory goes, the
evolution of human consciousness has been, in part, mediated by the exogenous
neurotransmitters that humans have sought out and consumed, thereby taking a
hand in their own evolution. Taking the theory at face value, for the moment,
this leads Winkleman to postulate that, “this expanded associational area
improved the brain’s capacity to interface with a variety of other neural
mechanisms, including those involved in learning, problem-solving, and memory
function” (ibid.). Here, therefore, is the window into culture. From
these improved brain functions, art, society and, indeed, organization
generally, could develop.

However, as we shall see,
the remainder of the essays are less about the role of entheogens generating
the capability for culture-creation in humans, but more about the role of
entheogens within culture itself. Indeed, if entheogens created the capacity
for culture, culture itself embarked on a process of reintegrating entheogens
from the newly evolved perspective.

Entheogen discourse is
primarily driven by historical analysis, and particularly the religious use of
mushrooms within human culture, and while this is also very true of this
collection, a number of other substances are discussed, which are worth
mentioning first. Chris Bennett and Neil McQueen, both having written
extensively on drugs and the bible, offer a chapter entitled Cannabis and
the Hebrew Bible, which makes use of Sula Benet’s identification of kaneh
bosm—an anointing oil used as an initiatory rite—with cannabis.

Alan Piper, writing The
Milk of the Goat Heidrun: An Investigation into the Sacramental Use of
Psychoactive Milk and Meat, examines ethnographic, scriptural, and
mythographic records for evidence of human’s observing plant effects in
animals, and their subsequent use of un-metabolized chemicals through the
consumption of the animals and their products. However, while these connections
serve to embed the narrative of a sacramental connection between human culture
and psychoactive substances, it is to the specific case of mushrooms that the majority
of the book turns.

The interpretation of
mythological text takes an important role in two essays: Kevin Feeney’s The
Significance of Pharmacological and Biological Indicators in Identifying
Historical Uses of Amanita muscaria, and Edzard Klapp’s Ravens’ Bread
and Other Manifestations of Fly Agaric in Classical and Biblical Literature.
Both follow in the footsteps of the Godfather of entheogens R. Gordon Wasson,
so far as centralizing the role of the Amanita
muscaria mushroom, and understanding its textual place as being
embedded through metaphor and stylized textual ritual. This is a particularly
difficult task as it does involve certain suppositions, such as a standard
efficacy of the mushroom, and it does take a leap of faith on the readers behalf—especially
in regard to the Celtic and Germanic myths. Although, it does make for
fascinating reading, and it’s an area I look forward to reading more of in the
future. Wasson’s work as a scholar is held in high regard in the book. Feeney
writes:

“Wasson’s 1968 opus
[Soma: Divine Mushroom of Immortality] remains unparalleled in terms of breadth
and sophistication. One of the fundamental contributions of Wasson’s work was
the proposition that soma was an entheogen, a point driven home through
detailed comparisons of the known effects of entheogenic substances and
descriptions of soma inebriation in the Rig Veda” (Rush 280).

However, this attitude
toward Wasson is not consistent throughout the collection and, in the final
weightily titled essay R. Gordon Wasson: The Man, the Legend, the Myth –
Beginning a New History of Magic Mushrooms, Ethnomycology, and the Psychedelic
Revolution, by Jan Irvin, there is something of a character assassination.
In a nut-shell Irvin claims that Wasson was part of a mind control and
propaganda campaign regarding mushrooms and ethnomycology that reached to top
levels of government. The conspiracy theory, if true, would put Wasson’s
scholarly work under a damning light and, in some respects, pulls the rug out
from some of the other researchers’ work included in this collection. One
passage from the piece particularly stood out for me: “Those who twist the
facts of reality to their own selfish agendas, sacrificing truth and humanity
in the process, bring the whole of the world down with them” (Rush 611).

On the other end of the
scholarly scale, Mike Jay’s chapter Enter the Jaguar is an excellent
examination of the ruins at Chavin de Huanter in the Peruvian Andes, with its
evidential symbolic art and its complex temple structure. Jay tentatively, but
convincingly, argues that the ruined complex could be understood as a
“visionary technology, designed to externalize and intensify these
intoxications and to focus them into a particular inner journey” (Rush 331). If
so, it demonstrates a highly evolved culture that utilized psychoactive
substances in highly respectful manner in a period analogous to the Mysteries
of Eleusis. Such feats occurring simultaneously across the globe appear to
underline the importance of psychoactive plants in the emergence of human
culture.

There are numerous other
essays in this collection, too many for this review to fully explicate them
all, suffice to say that such learned contributors as the classicist Carl Ruck
and mycologist Gastón Guzmán lend a great deal of credibility and insightful
analysis, which really helps underpin the collections premise. Personally
speaking, I also found Gerrit J. Keizer’s Hildegard of Bingen: Unveiling the
Secrets of a Medieval High Priestess and Visionary very interesting as I’d never
come across Hildegard before. In conclusion, however, there is much interesting
work to get to grips with in Entheogens and the Development of Culture,
not least the need for a wider contextual analysis on the development of
culture itself (for instance, what role did the development of technology and
the rise of leisure time play in conjunction with psychoactives.) But, overall,
an engaging and thought-provoking collection.

Imagine giant wombats the
size of a Rhinoceros (Diprotodon) roaming the Peninsula. Worse massive man eating
kangaroos (Procoptodon) sending you scuttling in terror as they roamed the
countryside in packs. Or the lone marsupial lion (Thylacoleo carnifex) carrying
off your newborn baby. Aboriginal mythology is rich in such stories and tells
of a time when they shared Australia with these savage predators. One such
legend from the Murrumbidgee River tells how, the cunning hunter Wirroowaa,
with the help of the great white spirit, had defeated these giant Kangaroos
that had slaughtered many of his tribe.

The existence of these
huge creatures is testified to by the giant fossilized bones of these extinct
mega fauna. From Lake Eyre, the Menindee lakes on the Darling River, Lake Mungo
near Mildura, Cuddie springs along the Queensland border, the Narracort caves
near Mount Gambia, at Keilor and Romsey near Melbourne their bones are to be
found in abundance. I have no doubt that somewhere on the Mornington Peninsula
hides a fossilized outcrop waiting to be discovered. These remains generally
seem to be found near river beds and springs which is a similar position to the
discoveries of extinct mastodons (elephants) in the United States along the
Mississippi river.

But what happened to the
Australian Megafauna? Again we return to Aboriginal mythology but also cleverly
combine it with the latest scientific revelations and find ourselves coming to
startling conclusions.

Firstly from the Mythology of the Aranda tribe of
central Australia.

Once the deserts of
central Australia were fertile plains where forests of giant trees grew.
Rivers, lakes and lagoons were thickly fringed with waving reeds. The air that
is now filled with blinding, salt-laden dust was washed by soft, cooling rains.
In this land lived the monsters called the Kadimakara. Once, when the monsters
and were quietly feeding on the earth, three gum trees which were the pillars
of the sky fell down. They were forced to roam on the earth and to wallow in
the marshes of Lake Eyre until they died. To this day, their bones lie where
they died. When the country is parched during prolonged drought, the Dieri
Aboriginals make journeys to the bones of the Kadimakara and hold ceremonies to
appease the spirits of the dead Kadimakara.

Scientifically this
undoubtedly tells of a cosmic event that desertified much of Australia and
fossilised the mega fauna’s bones. Paleontologist Adrienne Mayer narrates how
the native tribes of the U.S. also talk of the destruction of their mega fauna
by world shattering thunderbolts leaving them fossilized.The latest research
shows that fossils are not the results of millions of years of chemicals
infusing bones with silica compounds but can be electro magnetically created
almost instantaneously. And herein lays the solution to what killed and made
extinct the Mega fauna.

At Lake Mungo, A.N.U.
scientist, Barbetti discovered evidence of an immense Geo magnetic reversal of
the earth. Rock when melted and then cooled retains the magnetic signature of
that era. At Lake Mungo it was found there had been a 120 degree shift in the
magnetic dipole and field strength around ten times the present era. Wal
Thornhill says this would imply a very large increase in electric current at
the site. The effects would of been catastrophic, This had occurred thousands
of years ago and corresponded to the extinction of the mega fauna in Australia
).

In his book “Magnetic
reversals and Evolutionary leaps” Robert Felix describes the catastrophic
destruction these deadly electro-magnetic phenomena would have caused. The Mega
fauna would have not only been wiped out but the DNA of the survivors
impregnated and forced to change in one evolutionary bound. No more mega fauna
but a new smaller species of Kangaroo and wombat. Sounds farfetched?

U.S. scientist Rick
Firestone has found traces of iridium and microscopic steel lances in the
fossilized remains of the Northern hemisphere’s extinct Mega fauna such as
mammoths from Alaska and Siberia. He theorizes they got hit by a radioactive
cosmic blast. Just such effects would be expected from a magnetic reversal such
as occurred at Lake Mungo. It would have been continent wide. At a similar time
geo magnetic reversals were recorded in the mountains around New Zealand.

Further evidence of these
phenomena says Felix comes from the Sandy Lunette bowls of the Murray Darling
basin. They are just like the U.S’s Carolina bays. The high sand dunes that rim
these basins are topped by blasted pure white sand full of minute steel
inclusions.

Geo magnetic reversals
are a fact of the Solar system. As an example the Sun reverses its polarity
roughly every eleven years. What causes the earth to reverse its polarity?
Certainly the sun’s magnetosphere reacts with the earth resulting in the Aurora
Australis and Aurora Borealis. Various causes could be possible from an
Electric universe perspective.

An extreme Coronal Mass
ejection, a comet or meteorite electrically discharging, a planet in disturbed
motion or even the effect of an exploding supernova from outside the solar
system. Other unexplained phenomena such as telluric current from within the
earth may have caused these reversals. But occur they did and with devastating
results. When is the next one due?

It’s a bit controversial, but you should know that using a microwave oven
could be damaging your health. Swiss scientist Hans Hertel did
independent research on microwave cooking that was once banned from publication
by a court gag order demanded by an industry association. He was told to recant
or be arrested. His findings were not favorable for microwave-oven users.

Hertel’s research
corroborated early Soviet Russian research that led to a ban on microwave
ovens, which was lifted after the “iron curtain” fell to
increase microwave oven sales.

Both Hans Hertel’s
research and the Soviet Russian research went beyond the commonly accepted
dangers of microwaves leaking into the immediate environment and lowering
nutritional value of microwave-cooked foods – two very real consequences of
using a microwave oven.

Hertel explains how heat
is produced from the inside out in microwaves:

“Technically produced
microwaves are based on the principle of alternating current. Atoms, molecules
and cells hit by this hard electromagnetic radiation are forced to reverse
polarity 1 to 100 billion times a second.”

Hertel is quick to point
out that microwaves from the sun don’t cause the same type of molecular damage
because the sun emits direct current (DC) pulses, where microwave ovens are
generated by alternating current (AC) that causes the rapid polarity shifts in
molecules to torque and tear them.

“There are no atoms,
molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent,
destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy
range of milliwatts.” Hertel continues, “This is how microwave cooking
heat is generated – friction from this violence in water molecules. Structures of molecules are torn apart,
molecules are forcefully deformed (called structural isomerism) and thus become
impaired in quality.”

So it’s the water
molecules in foods that are directly agitated first to produce frictional heat.
Even worse, using a microwave oven for heating water for coffee or tea or for
warming baby’s formula will create severely damaged molecules, which are
carcinogenic. More on that later.

Gene Damage from Microwave Cooking

Besides these thermal
modifications, there is direct damage to cell walls and genes from microwaves. Gene altering technology, which
includes the biotech food industry, alters genes by weakening them with
microwaves.

Hertel explained further,
“… the cells are actually broken, thereby
neutralizing the electrical potentials – the very life of the cells – between
the outer and inner sides of the cell membranes.”

Strange and unknown
compounds are created by microwave energy’s penetration into organic matter.
They’ve been called radiolytic compounds. Some scientists argue that
normal cooking creates these as well. However, Hertel’s research has indicated
that far more radiolytic compounds are created by microwave cooking.

Hertel used human trials
to demonstrate that the food and liquids damaged from microwaving modifies
the cellular activity in humans consuming them. In addition to creating
lower red blood cell counts and white blood cell (immune system “killer cells”)
damage, one’s normal cells can be forced by the damaged molecules and
radiolytic compounds to adapt into an emergency mode of energy production.

Cells are forced from
normal cellular oxidation of glucose into the anaerobic energy
production of glucose fermentation. This is a cancerous condition.
Anaerobic glucose fermentation is how cancer cells survive and thrive.

It almost seems
impossible to omit microwaves completely in today’s fast-paced world. But
reducing the use of microwave ovens will help, and that’s something you can
feel good about.

Microwave Dangers – Why You Should
Not Use a Microwave

America’s most convenient
appliance – microwave ovens - seem to be an absolute necessity in today’s
fast-paced world.
They are currently present in at least 90% of homes in America thanks to their
ability to cook and reheat foods or beverages in a simple, rapid way.The
majority of people use this kitchen appliance without question and often think
they are a reasonable alternative to conventional ovens for reheating or
cooking. However you may want to think twice before using your microwave, as
there are actually many microwave dangers you
probably don’t know of.

How Using a Microwave Negatively Impacts Your Health

In short, microwave ovens
are kitchen appliances which are used to cook or reheat food by emitting microwaves. Microwaves are a form of
electromagnetic radiation and are on the low energy end of the energy spectrum,
second to radio waves. The
waves are generated by something called a magnetron – something found within
every microwave oven.

Magnetrons produce an
electromagnetic field with a microwave frequency of approximately 2,450
megaHertz (MGz), which is the equivalent to 2.4 gigaHertz (GHz). Microwaves
produced within the microwave oven cause dialectric heating – they bounce
around the inside of the oven and are absorbed by whatever is placed in the
oven.

In order for something to
heat in a microwave oven, water must be present within the substance. If water
is not present, heating will not occur and it would remain cool. The reason for
this is that water molecules within the food vibrate at an incredible speed,
creating molecular friction which is responsible for the heating of the food.
The structure of the water molecules are torn apart and vigorously deformed.
This is much different than any other method of cooking, as other methods such
as convection ovens heat up food by transferring heat convectionally from the
outside inward.

Hans Hertel, a Swiss
scientist, states:

“There are no atoms,
molecules or cells of any organic system able to withstand such a violent,
destructive power for any extended period of time, not even in the low energy
range of milliwatts… This is how microwave cooking heat is generated – friction
from this violence in water molecules. Structures of molecules are torn apart,
molecules are forcefully deformed (called structural isomerism) and thus become
impaired in quality.”

You might wonder why food
is often unevenly heated when taken out of the microwave. The uneven heating
occurs because microwaves work with whatever water molecules are present, and
since not all areas of food contain the same amount of water, heating becomes
uneven.

While microwave
cooking does begin within the molecules where water
is present, they don’t actually cook from “the inside out” like many people
believe. They actually start with the outer layers while the inner layers are
mostly heated and cooked simply by transference of heat from the outer layers.
This is oftentimes why you’ll find that the outside of the food is extremely
hot while the inside seems to have been absent during the re-heating or
cooking.

Microwave Dangers – The Radiation Effects of Microwaves
and Other Forms of Non-Ionizing Radiation

Microwaves are in fact radiation. They are classified as
non-ionizing radiation – radiation which can change the position of atoms but
is not strong enough to alter their structure, composition, or properties. Even
though non-ionizing radiation is not strong enough to alter the structure of
atoms, it is still able to cause physical alterations.
A clear example of how non-ionizing radiation can harm you is the damage caused
to your skin and eyes caused by the sun. When you use microwave cooking, you
are exposing yourself to microwave radiation.

Other forms of ionizing
radiation are visible light, ultraviolet and infrared waves, and waves emitted
from televisions, cell phones, and electric blankets.

Today we live in a
technologically advanced world. We could label the time we live in as the
“technology age” as well as the “radiation age”. We are currently bombarded
with radiation from almost everything around us: radio towers, televisions, cell
phones, microwave ovens, computers, satellites, broadcast antennas, and so much
more. Unfortunately, radiation doesn’t go away over time, in fact, it just
accumulates.

Although we’ve conducted
study after study concluding that no amount of radiation is safe, we don’t
really know what all of this means in the long term. But here is what we do
know:

When any radiation waves resonate with a body
part, the biological effect is intensified. For example, microwave
frequencies are very similar to the frequencies of your brain. The effects
microwaves have on your brain are greater than those same waves on any
other part of the body.

Although studies are done to view the effects
of radiation, most of these studies are done for short exposure periods at
higher intensities. There is an immense shortage of studies using long
exposure periods with low-level radiation. More research simply needs to
be done.

Radiation accumulates over time and never goes
away.

Due to the amount of radiation everyone is
exposed to every day, it is difficult to conduct studies using control
groups. Radiation can’t really be controlled anymore due to the
unavoidable invasion.

We simply don’t know the
long-term effects of microwave radiation, so why risk it by watching your food
cook in your microwave day after day and night after night.

Who shouldn’t use microwave ovens and
why?

No one should be using microwave ovens. This
is especially true for babies, children, if you are pregnant, already suffer
from illness & disease, or are already bombarded with more radiation than
the average person.

Why?

You may suffer from “Microwave
Sickness”

Tissues directly exposed
to microwaves are subject to the same deformities molecules go through, and this can in turn cause you
to experience “microwave sickness”. Remember, it isn’t just microwave ovens
which emit this kind of radiation. Cell phone towers also emit this type of
radiation.

People may experience any
or all of the following after being exposed to high levels of microwave
radiation.

Impaired cognition

Nausea

Vision problems

Depression and irritability

Weakened immune system

Headaches

Dizziness

Insomnia and/or sleep disturbances

Frequent urination and extreme thirst

Robert O. Becker, author
of The Body Electric, stated the following on page 314 in his book:

It’s [Microwave sickness]
first signs are low blood pressure and slow pulse. The later and most common
manifestations are chronic excitation of the sympathetic nervous system [stress
syndrome] and high blood pressure.

In another book
entitled Health Effects of Microwave
Radiation, author Dr. Lita Lee also expressed his concern over the
use of microwaves. Dr. Lee observed that the symptoms listed above could be
caused by certain observations shown below.

Lymphatic disorders were observed, leading to
decreased ability to prevent certain types of cancers

An elevated rate of cancer cell formation was
observed in the blood

Increased rates of stomach and intestinal
cancers were observed

Higher rates of digestive disorders and
gradual breakdown of the systems of elimination were observed

Life Energy is Depleted

Foods which haven’t been
processed or cooked and are naturally occurring contain life energy which is transmitted from the
sun. Biophotons are the smallest physical unit of light which are stored in all
life forms. They contain bio-information and are partially responsible
the feelings you get which signify well-being and vitality. Foods like
naturally grown vegetables and especially sun-ripened fruits are the main
source for these biophotons to humans.

Microwaving food, in
effect, potentially destroys and depletes the life energy, rendering the food
completely dead and lifeless. In addition, the food’s nutritional value is lost
and it becomes nearly useless in terms of providing any real health benefit.

Fact: Russians Banned the Microwave
Oven After Extensive Studies

Microwaves were first
invented by the Nazis
in order to provide a method of cooking for their troops during World War II.
Seeing as though these microwave ovens have been experimental and new, the US
War Department was assigned to research these new devices shortly after the
war.

Turns out, the U.S.
didn’t really perform the extensive research necessary for the new invention.
Instead, the Russians decided to tackle the issue with extreme force.

Intrigued by this new
device, the Russians conducted in-depth research to discover the biological
effects they might possess. The results were staggering enough to lead to a ban
of the new device in the Soviet Union. The ban, however, was later lifted during
Perestroika, the political movement responsible for the restructuring of the
Soviet Union.

The findings include:

Carcinogenic substances were formed from the
microwaving of nearly all foods tested

Microwaving milk and grains resulted in
carcinogenic substances being formed through the conversion of amino acids

Microwaving prepared meats caused
cancer-causing agents such as d-Nitrosodienthanolamines to form

Microwaving fruits as a method of thawing
resulted in the conversion of glucoside and galactoside fractions into
carcinogenic substances

Extremely short exposure of raw, cooked, or
frozen vegetables converted their plant alkaloids into carcinogens

Structural degradation leading to decreased
food value was found to be 60 to 90 percent overall for all foods tested,
with significant decreases in bioavailability of B complex vitamins,
vitamins C and E, essential minerals, and lipotropics

Twenty years of the
Russian research led to the international warning about the damaging biological
and environmental effects microwaves possess. The warning also included other
similar frequency electronic devices such as cell phones.

Say Goodbye to Your Foods Nutritional
Value

Although there haven’t
been as many studies on microwaves as say, the importance of various vitamins and minerals,
all of the studies generally agree on one thing: nutritional
value is significantly reduced if you microwave food. You’d
think that studying microwaves would be at the top of the list, given their
place in our society, but evidently their role is not significant enough for
more thorough testing.

Note that most of these
studies have been done prior to 2000. This may be due to the shift of focus
from microwaves to a more prevalent threat to humanity: the intense
electromagnetic chaos from electromagnetic devices such as cell phones,
computers, and advanced technology. Here are some studies illustrating the
detrimental effects of microwaves and microwave cooking.

This
study found that broccoli when microwaved with a little bit of
water loses up to 97% of its beneficial antioxidants. Steamed broccoli
only lost 11% or less. Some amounts of phenolic compounds and
glucosinolates were also lost. The study was published in the November
2003 issue of The Journal of
the Science of Food and Agriculture.

Vitamin C in asparagus spears was lost during
a 1999 Scandinavian study.

One study found
60 seconds of microwaving garlic depleted the food of its allinase,
garlic’s primary cancer-fighting ingredient.

Just 6 minutes of microwave
heating turned 30-40 percent of the B12 in milk into a dead form, which
was found in a Japanese study by Watanabe.

An Australian study recently
conducted showed that microwaves cause a higher degree of “protein
unfolding” than conventional heating.

A 1992 study found that breast milk lost
lysozyme activity, antibodies, and became a more suitable environment for
the potential growth of pathogenic bacteria after being microwaved.

Microwaving Food Leads to a Negative Impact on Human
Physiology & the Heart

Hans Hertel, a Swiss food
scientist, initiated
the first tests on microwaved food and microwave cooking to determine how
microwaves affect human physiology and the blood. After studying these effects,
Hertel concluded that microwaving food leads to food degeneration. These
degenerative changes in nutrients caused changes in blood which could cause
health problems.

Health issues which could
be caused are:

Elevated cholesterol levels

A plummet in leukocytes (white blood cells),
which could suggest poisoning

Decreased red blood cell levels

Production of radiolytic compounds

Decreased hemoglobin levels, which might indicate
anemia

Another study found that
microwave frequency radiation affects the heart at non-thermal levels – levels
which are well below federal safety guidelines. To examine these effects, the
study used a 2.4GHz radiation frequency, which is the same frequency emitted by
microwave ovens as well as wifi routers.

There is
even evidence that this same frequency can cause elevated blood sugar levels in
certain people. This points to the possibility that there may be a type 3
diabetes generated by dirty electricity. Here is a video below making a
presentation support this. You may find the video “slow”, but it’s well worth 7
minutes of your time.
